Does anyone know where the phrase "The Worm Has Turned" originated? My girlfriend has her last law school final tomorrow, and it's an extra credit question. Thanks. ------------------ www.swirve.com "Pre-born, you're fine, pre-school, you're f*****."-George Carlin
This is the closest thing I could find to an answer. [This message has been edited by Band Geek Mobster (edited April 25, 2001).]
The first recorded is from 1546 in John Heywood's collection of proverbs. "Tread a woorme on the tayle and it must turne agayne." Shakespeare also used it in 1595 in Henry VI, part 3, in Act 2 Scene 2. "The smallest worm will turn being trodden on," Who is the prof? I never got extra credit questions in law school... ------------------ I'm about to boldly go where many men have gone before.
